Worm and Sheep pellets!

I worked with a group of classmates on our inquiry topic this term.  We had to find information to build our knowledge, write key questions and find information after identifying an audience and a clear purpose.  This is our final presentation. 

Botanic garden

The Botanic Gardens is so beautiful and amazing. Our class had an opportunity to walk through and explore the jungles, gardens, edibles garden and other places that's part of the wide area covered by the Botanic Gardens. It was a perfect day to go and revisit the Botanic Gardens with my whole school. Our school admired the healthy fruits and vegetables like guavas, bananas, berries, raspberries, lettuce, beetroots, carrots, tomatoes and more.

Our class were talking about how our school can make our plants and veggies healthy and strong and not let the pests get into our plants and veggies. We were making a sucker sauce which helps the plants to grow and also helps to stop pests coming into the plants. We explored the spider home and worm farm; learned about composting and more.

I had so much fun at the botanic garden and I hope that it will continue to provide us with great knowledge about palnts, fruits and vegetables.

Spiders

Spiders are 8 legged creatures. They eat insects like flies and  grasshoppers.  Spiders are patient and it’s a game of silence.

The spiders live about 1-3 years or 15-25 years. Spiders are 1.5cm - 2.5cm in length. They lay 1000 babies or more. Spiders have another name which is Araneae. If spiders bite, it might get itchy or swelling also redness and small bumps.

Spiders are the largest order of arachnids. Some spiders are venom or poison. There are different kind of spiders like widow spiders, jumping spiders, wandering spiders and more. Spiders web are spinning full and it is scary.

The poison spiders are the not beautiful one s but the venom spiders is so beautiful . Use a ice pack because it will swell and get even worse. Stay still when it’s on you, you can move a little bit and stay calm.

I think that spiders are fun because they are so nice but scary. Spiders are so interesting and amazing.

Birthday present from dad!

In the holiday’s, it was a hot and sunny.  My dad and sister went and pick up my big sister in the afternoon (from the university). I was waiting for them to come back. I was bored after I’d finished a game of basketball (with a flat ball).It was a difficult game and it lasted about  25 minutes.

When they got back they dropped off my big sister and went somewhere else. “Where are they going”?” I asked Cindy (my big sister) She said that I just had to  wait till they came back.  I went and played games because I was so bored. An hour later they came back.  I was sleeping and I heard the door shut and I ran as quickly as I could.

I asked my dad, “What’s going on here?” Both my little sister and my dad spoke at the same time and said “Nothing.”

I said,”What are you doing?” they said,“ surprise!”.

I told them my birthday is on Tuesday 3rd of May and it was a early birthday present. I said, “Thank you very much and I appreciate you dad. He bought me three jackets and two pairs of shoes. They brought it from Rebel Sport.

I am so lucky to have such  cool sisters and a wonderful dad.
